About this mod
Western-themed alternative hats to the 1st Recon beret
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
The mods adds a container with 5 cowboy hats variants edited to have the same effects as the 1st Recon beret, which is untouched and still normally obtainable through Boone's quest or by reverse-pickpocketing Manny. The same goes for the vanilla cowboy hats, they're still in the game as usual.
The hats have been renamed to avoid confusion:
(Vanilla) • (Mod)
- Cattleman Cowboy hat • Cattleman Western Hat
- Desperado Cowboy hat • Desperado Western Hat
- Old Cowboy hat • Old Western Hat
- Rattan Cowboy hat • Rattan Western Hat
- Rawhide Cowboy hat • Rawhide Western hat
The only differences are weight (1 instead of .5) and repair ('Cowboy hats, Pre-War hat Headgear w/h Jury Rigging' instead of 'Berets, Boone's beret, Headgear w/h Jury Rigging').
Why?
Nothing wrong with the 1st Recon beret but it never fits my Couriers' "theme" and I'm not a fan of military style clothing/armor.
Where's the goods?
The mod adds a "Worn Suitcase" next to the gas station in Novac, the one facing the motel—check the screenshots for its location. Just open the container and grab the hats. If it feels like cheating, wait until you get a legit 1st Recon beret, then stash it and use one of the hats.
Install
Install through a mod manager or drop it in the Data folder. Load last or as close to the bottom as possible.
Bug/conflicts/compatibility
The mod relies on vanilla resources, there shouldn't be issues. I can't speak for other clothing mods, since I don't use them.
Dependencies
None, all you need is the base game.
